Carville blames “stupid wokeness” for Democratic losses
The Hill | 11/3/2021 | Joseph ChoiDemocratic political strategist James Carville blamed his party’s recent losses and weak performance in state elections on “stupid wokeness” on Wednesday.
“PBS NewsHour” host Judy Woodruff asked Carville what went wrong for the Democratic Party in the Virginia gubernatorial race in which Republican Glenn Youngkin beat former Gov. Terry McAuliffe.
“What went wrong is just stupid wokeness. Don’t just look at Virginia and New Jersey. Look at Long Island, look at Buffalo, look at Minneapolis, even look at Seattle, Wash. I mean this ‘defund the police’ lunacy, this take Abraham Lincoln’s name off schools. I mean that — people see that,” Carville said.
“It’s just really — has a suppressive effect all across the country on Democrats. Some of these people need to go to a ‘woke’ detox center or something,” he added. “They’re expressing a language that people don’t use, and there’s backlash and a frustration at that.”
Democratic New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy narrowly eked out a reelection victory on Wednesday, another indication of Democrats diminishing strength in state elections.
Carville said that suburbanites in Virginia and New Jersey “pulled away” from such “wokeness”. He pointed out that Youngkin never ran any ads against President Biden and suggested that the Republican candidate had simply allowed the Democrats to “pull the pin and watch the grenade go off.”
He’s a lizard, but he does yank good analogies from somewhere in his anatomy.
